Time 1h25m

Yield 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced

Steps:

  • Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
  • If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces smoked salmon, roughly chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces raw salmon, finely diced
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1 shallot, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 cup minced chives
Kosher salt, optional
Crostini, for serving

Steps:

  • In a food processor, add the smoked salmon along with the mayonnaise and some pepper. Pulse just until the salmon is broken up into slightly smaller pieces. Do not overmix.
  • Place the mixture into a bowl and combine with the raw salmon and creme fraiche or sour cream. You may add more or less depending on how creamy you like it. Add the shallot, lemon zest and juice and half the chives. Season with pepper; the mixture will likely not need salt due to the smoked salmon.
  • Transfer the mixture to a shallow wide bowl and cover with the remaining chives. Serve with crostini.
